God Our Father Loves
June 14, 2024
Father’s Day gives us the option to look at what makes a good dad. For all the humanness of father’s, what is the best characteristic they can possess?
Love, the greatest of all characteristics. No contest, no comparison. I Corinthians 13 describes it. The loving Dad believes in his child, expects the best, is kind, forgives, keeps no record of wrongs to use as a bully club later. A loving Dad is not self-seeking, wants what’s best for his child, not what makes Dad look good or strong or successful.
What dad can measure up? None. But mirroring God our Father as best we can is a good start. The better any dad knows His Heavenly Father, and the more willing he is to be shaped by Him, that dad will be a loving dad.
